I've been battling insane skin lesions, headaches, brain fog, and weight loss since July/August.

Bloodwork was normal, saw an infectious disease doc this week and he ordered a stool sample, but just thought i'd post here in the meantime.

thanks!

FYI : I haven't had any seeds in my diet.

    I have the exact same problem. I have been trying to figure this out for so long. I'll attach an image of one of them that I collected. My stool test came back negative, I'm thinking Stronglyoides but that's just speculation for now.image

    I definitely seems to be larvae of some kinds and eggs. The bigger question is, how did they get into your system.
